Highwayman
It could be age, he could be weidmans reach, its a combo of still a threat of a takedown also, he got closer than anyone else has and that's all she wrote
I think the "he didn't care" crew are wrong, not saying you are one, I just think Weidman is just not getting credit
I've given Weidman a ton of credit in this very thread and in the chatberx.
I think he scouted Silva better than anyone since Silva stepped foot in the UFC. Sonnen I was a matchup nightmare for Silva...but Weidman let Silva do what Silva does and caught him. Not only was it Weidman's reach, he was in close quarters with Silva and still had to lean in hard and strong to connect...Silva's flexibility and agility make it so that punch that connected needed to be set up and the puncher needed to take the risk.
I mean...how many years has he been doing the quazi drunken kung fu shit, clowning around...was it worse than before against Weidman...of course it was...but this is a guy that has been doing this shit for years.
